having recently fitted a Fmic I bought a Rcm cone filter and trumpet, which when fitted my bonnet won’t close it just bent the filter badly,the filter won’t go low enough due to the abs block below it.

 

Aem Dryflow. Pick the size that fits.

 

Here's how I fitted mine. The filter seems tucked away but gets plenty of air for a high 400s output.

 

Mine fits fine too - can get a picture for you tomorrow if you want?

 

theres no room anywhere to go under the pipe, it’s just squashed in there at the moment, but not happy as it’s bent the filter a lot and is rubbing on the abs block below.
might see if I can get a smaller filter, it can be longer but not as round

 

That’s why I don’t use a cone
K& N tube all the way . With a Perrin sock on for aesthetics lol

 

 

The problem is the silicon hose joined to the MAF tube. Mine bends more towards the back of the car

 

Yea I know what you mean,I have tried moving it onto more of a 45 degree but it just fouls the cooler pipe and is worse than it is now.
will have to be a smaller filter I think more of a tube design

 

Previous owner slightly bent those lines coming out the ABS pump just enough that the bonnet closes and i doesn't sit proud,

Will try get a pic i don't just mean hammered out the way,

 

You have to cut and reposition the cool side pipe so it redirects over the filter. You need silicon pipe connectors and it's a bit of a fiddle but you keep the big cone and don't have to bend anything.

 

Have found a big tube style k&n that will fit in without having to modify the pipe and hopefully itl flow enough air.
got a 76mm neck to got straight into the inlet pipe and it’s 30cm long by 15cm wide

 

All sorted now, fits snug and Bonnet shuts

 

Where have you fitted the MAF sensor?

 

Maffless so it’s not there now

 

Hi,

I’m looking at getting a fmic and seen the problems that some short rams can cause by fouling with the Intercooler pipes coming through the wing.

What short ram filters can I get for my 2003 blobeye that will fit in around the piperwork and abs block etc ? I can’t seem to find anything.

Thanks in advance

 

Jazzy where did you get your filter from and then the attaching pipework for your maf sensor to fit in to ? Looks like yours fits well around your Intercooler pipework in your engine bay

 

I got mine from demon Tweeks just measured what space I had and got a universal k/n filter

 

Okay mate thanks, I’m trying to see where jazzy got his from as I’m not running maffless so would need the correct pipework etc

 

Custom made by the late Harvey R.I.P.
Filter is K&N , measures lenth + diam I needed . Perrin sock on for protection & look .

 

What size elbow is that?
